About Rene T.

Informative and patient classes centered around students needs and requirements.

About Rene

Knowing at the age of 5 that music was my life, by being brought up surrounded by praise music and gospel, my early exposure to music helped me to find every Instrument and style just my thing! I wanted to play everything and learn all aspects of music. I started with singing in the children's choir and then developed into piano and music theory. At the age of 12 I began to learn classical guitar, and at 15 took on various styles like Flamenco, Jazz and Rock. I graduated from High School having played in the school band achieving recognition In national Institutions Like IAJE (International Association for Jazz Education) and state band finals. I was also composing from a very early age, and at 18 released my first album (self-titled) which can still be heard and purchased today through various music outlets, since i have released over 15

albums with various ensembles and bands. In college I already knew from my previous experience that I wanted to teach and pass on the joy that music brought to my life. I studied Music Theory and Jazz and finished my degree in Music Education. I have been teaching all in all for about 14 yrs. And I have enjoyed every minute I have spent with my students learning as much from them, as them from me. I am looking forward to meeting new and eager students who really want to bring their inner music out to share with the rest of us music aficionados! and develop their skills to the peak of their abilities.

*** Lesson Details ***My teaching method ranges depending on the student. I believe in my experience that everyone learns differently, therefore everyone develops at their own pace. I try to find key strengths in each student and expose this to their advantage, using their abilities to further develop their skills, this method has shown the most promising results and students usually find themselves playing and performing just a couple of months after their first lessons. Part of my method involves a lot of performance and recital opportunities to help break any fears and inhibitions a student may bring with them. Music is about sharing, so an early exposure to this method helps to strengthen and stabilize a core acceptance of a students style and path, giving them and those close to them a very clear picture of their development and achievements.

*** Studio Equipment ***Has all instruments at both his home and college studio

*** Travel Equipment ***I provide lesson material, song charts and a progression scale. I require student to have an Instrument and recommended technique literature.

*** Specialties ***My classical training began in High School with Influences in Segovia, and Romero I studied classical for 4 yrs. and trained in Jazz and Improvisation with performances In Big Band and group ensemble. Also sang and played in the school gospel choir.

****Personal Statement*****

If you needed a reason

There is no question that music touches us instantly and activates images, emotions and memories that linger with us throughout our lives. As a casual listener or an obsessive music elitist, there are times in our lives when we get blown away by a sound so unique our entire body vibrates and resonates with the touch of something out of this world. I can honestly say when this happens to me I feel as close to a spiritual connection than anything I have experienced otherwise. I believe it is these exact events that have triggered my need to be completely involved in the making, performing and consuming of music. The creative process, to me, is the single obvious reason we exist in this world. We create and share, learn and interpret, build on previous ideas and inspire others to perfect upon this process. It is no doubt a very humbling experience to realize you are part of it all. During this process you come to realize how important you are as an Individual, how there is no other vessel like you in this world, nor has there ever been or ever will. You are here now and your voice, your talent, your gift is an instrument to the great choir of the human spirit. No one but you can relate this, a reason to be, to create, to give.

About Jackeline N.

"I've been teaching Spanish for 3 years and my students have gone on to develop a deep love for Spanish culture and touristic places in Latin America. Within the first few lessons, you'll start speaking simple sentences and as time goes on you'll be able to conjugate like a pro! The good thing is that you will relate our Spanish lessons to your personal life. I like to use the following tools: recording equipment, worksheets, books, and more. For kids, offer a full inmersion Spanish learning experience (singing, dancing, playing, reading, etc). I love working with students of all ages, I can't wait to see you!

About Jackeline

I am a university student. I am a Spanish native speaker. I used to be a tutor in college. I like to teach, it is the best way to learn more and put in practice all I already learned. I am very patient, so dedicated, and very friendly. Throughout the time I have developed teaching techniques that would make YOU understand better and have a great experience during our sessions.

Jackeline is an exceptionally natural teacher! Her insight, patience and experience are simply unparalleled. This is the best money I have ever spent on learning a language. I would take a class in anything Jackeline was teaching simply because I know she would be the best teacher!

MaryANN L. May 12, 2017·Spanish·In studio

Jackeline is patient yet firm in that she gives you time to recollect and explains why your answer was incorrect. She encourages you to use the new language in the lesson which is most helpful and gives guidelines and exercises to re-enforce the lesson.

Haven A. September 4, 2016·Spanish·In studio

We are very pleased. She works well with younger children. Ms. Jackeline creates fun and engaging lessons for our 6 year old.

About Michael L.

I have spent four years studying Spanish in academic settings and have traveled extensively to Latin America, learning Spanish on the way. I have a wide vocabulary and a thorough understanding of grammar.

About Michael

I am a classically trained and professional musician who has worn many different musical hats over the years. I began playing drums when I was 14, in Houston, TX with Craig LeMay, and since then I have learned many different string and world instruments. I studied music theory and vocal performance at the Florence University of the Arts in Italy, taken sitar lessons from Mita Nag in Kolkatta, India, and jazz performance in Austin, TX with Joey Colarusso. I have played in many different bands over the years, such as accompanying Michael Kiwanuka with the musical saw, accompanying Katie Sachs with the musical saw, playing bass guitar with Halaska and DJing private events with Spacecraft Entertainment. I have been teaching music to special education students, in Austin public schools, and foster children with Kids in a New Groove. I have als

o built and modified many of my own instruments and ready to teach you some quirky musical production skills as well. I believe listening and being adaptable to an individual student's needs are the keys to teaching anyone to express themselves through music.

After studying Spanish for 2 years at the university level and extensive travel to Latin America I am fluent in Spanish in both the academic and conversational sides of the language.

Michael is doing a great job getting me started on my piano journey. The exercises and drills he is teaching me have helped me feel comfortable at the keyboard. I've even learned a song already, after just 2 lessons!

Highly recommended.

Alaina ( Ally) Robertson June 17, 2016··

My 8 year old daughter took piano lessons from Michael and she really enjoyed learning the basics in fun ways. He was VERY patient and able to meet her where she was at, but still knew how to challenge her. I would recommend Michael to any beginner level piano player!

Daniel Elsner April 9, 2016··

Really good teacher. I had never played piano before and Michael was great at instantly giving me things to work on and gave off the impression that lessons were tailored to what I was interested in and the direction I personally wanted to go with the piano. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone else looking for a good instructor in piano or any other musical instrument he works with.

Amy November 9, 2017·Spanish·In home

Ines is fantastic! She is obviously a native Spanish speaker. She is is a wonderful & nurturing teacher, too. I can tell my little boy likes her because he always wants to entertain her. Ines meets the challenge of his being easily distracted. She shares her language and culture with us all and engages our son in topics to keep his interest (not easy for a young boy). She is very humble in all her talents and education. Only through multiple lessons, we have learned of some of her accomplishments and she has so much to offer beyond the language instruction and as part of her language instruction. She is also aware of the nuances of the language as spoken in Latin America and Spain and when it comes up, she shares this with us as part of her lesson. She is amazing! She is also very punctual and courteous, sending reminders of the lesson in advance and has been accommodating when we have needed to reschedule. She always has great learning tools and strives to teach Spanish at the best level for her student's needs and interests. We are so glad we found Ines and so grateful! We cannot say enough about how wonderful she has been for us!

Isabelle P. November 1, 2017·Spanish·Online

I have always been skeptical of taking a language class online, but Ines has made my experience incredible! She not only knows how to teach spanish, but is also able to adapt and create innovative lessons for students of all levels! I was so comfortable speaking in Spanish and learning the language. If you have to hire a Spanish teacher, this is the one to hire!

Inés is a very good teacher. I recommend her because she is very knowledgeable and talented. She knows how to teach and can communicate very well with the students.

About Malka R.

Whether you want it for travel in Latin America, or because you live in an area with lots of native Spanish-speakers, I can help you build your vocabulary and fundamental knowledge of grammatical concepts!I use a variety of methods, though my teaching is heavily conversation based. I believe conversation needs the foundation for all languages; everything else will fall into place once you learn how to actually express yourself aloud. I also teach using literature/stories/poetry written in the language of focus. If this is your first time learning a foreign language, Spanish will be your gateway! (And I will be your guide).

About Malka

Dear Potential Students,Welcome to my page -I am excited to meet you! I have taught private students for about three years now, and I enjoy it immensely. A short biography as it pertains to how we will work together: I spent two years in the world of professional Opera, and three in the Jewish music/clergy world, and experienced music as a powerful connector in both worlds. The human voice is unique in terms of its capability for depth and expression, yet sometimes we don't know how to unlock power of our own voices (literal and metaphorical). This is where I come in. I offer my clients a way of learning to sing with their unique, authentic voice using a combination of emotional and purely technical tools. Singing is a very vulnerable undertaking, so I take a holistic approach, and I give my students a technique that is easily applied

to virtually any genre of music. Whether you want to pursue a career as an opera singer, rock star, pop singer, or you just want to sing for the sheer pleasure of it doesn't matter. What matters is that you sing. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Bill December 12, 2017·Hebrew·Online

I have greatly enjoyed my Hebrew lessons with Malka. She is patient and down-to-earth and clearly has a passion for the language, helping others appreciate its beauty, and for teaching in general. I had never spoken Hebrew before, but from the first lesson, she was already having me recite vocabulary and construct sentences using proper grammar and pronunciation. I look forward to future lessons with her, and, of course, I recommend her to anyone wanting to learn more about the Hebrew language or Jewish and/or Israeli culture.
